2 For a Cantilever retaining wall at height 4 m above G.L. is subjected to plan back fill with following data.
Density of soil =18 KN/m3
Angle at repose=30°
Friction coeff. Between concrete and soil=0.6
SBC of soil=150kN/m2
Design a steam with reinforcement curtailment and heel slab. Show all design checks. Draw reinforcement detail dor stem and heel slab. Adopt M20 and Fe415 use LSM.
